Brit Hume tells Tiger to convert

Alright, first of all, it’s about time those damn righties give me something to write about. (hahaha…) Second of all, “Ohhh Brit…” I mean, don’t get me wrong, I really do like Brit as a political commentator, I do, but to encourage someone to convert to Christianity to be properly forgiven for his adulterous ways is just…wth-ish/isthisreallynews?

I’m not usually one to get all religious on your asses because I honestly have a “to each their own” mentality to religion. (There are exceptions to that rule, such as killing in the name of your religion, that is just plain wrong and a moral issue, not so much a religious one.) I’m also not one to tell you that your religion or lack of religion is wrong, that’s not my thing. I do think Brit probably could have taken a different approach to this topic, but he chose to not only attack the Buddhist faith but he told Tiger to “turn to the Christian faith and you can be a great example to the world.” Ugh. That just makes my skin crawl with TV evangelical creepiness. And yes, I would feel the exact same way if Mr. Hume had told Tiger to convert to Buddhism, Paganism, Islam, Judaism, Atheism or Communism while bashing another religion.

All that being said, I’m not so much bothered that religion was brought into the conversation, it is bothersome that one religion was bashed and another promoted as the more “forgiving and redemptive” or the RIGHT path for Tiger to follow. But I digress…
